SHEDS FOR SHEEP.
Very Simple Structures Sufficient for All
Ordinary Purposes.

1t would seem as if the subject of
shelter for sheep and stock of all kinds
had been SO thoroughly discussed that
nothing more need be said upon it.
Unfortunately, however, there are yet
some who have not given the matter
the attention that it deserves; and now
suppose every flockmaster concludes
that he will provide suitable shelter
for the coming winter. 1t will GER
tainly be to his interest to do so. 1t
will be money in his pocket. With
this opinion all will agree. Then shall
we not all act upon it? Men every
where are trying to make money, by
both honest and dishonest means. The
love of money is the all-consuming
passion. Advice, therefore, as to how
to make money ought to be acceptable
to US all. If you have no suitable
shelter for the sheep, construct one.
That is one way to put money into
the pocket. If it is not desired
or possible to build a sheep barn
that can be completely closed
when that is desirable, construct sim
pier shelter. Remember that the great
object to be achieved is not warmth,
but protection from the storm. Sheep
are wen protected from the cold, but
against storms they ought to have good
protection. A very simple structure is
shed open on one side with Il yard in
front. 1t may be covered with straw
or hay, but better roof than that, and
more permanent one, is desirable.
Build racks all around the shed. The
structure may have an apartment back
of the racks for the storage of grain.
roots and even hay; or it may have Il
story above for that purpose. The
story used by the sheep. of course may
be low, only high enough to permit Il
man to 60 in with reasonable comfort.
1t need not even be high enough for
him to stand perfectly straight, though
it would be more convenient for him to
be able to do so. If there is storage
room above the floor. it should be tight
enough to prevent the dirt from sitting
sown on the sheep. The yard and
1round on which the shed stands
should be thoroughly drained. Neither
the back nor the feet of sheep will
stand the wet, a fact that every exper-
fenced sheep raiser and wool grower
knows WeSterR Rural.

STYLISH MALE ATTIRE.
The Cost of Well-Dressed New York Gen.

Inc Cost OF Hell-Dressed New York Gen.
tleman's Wardrobe.
have heard half dozen men saw
recently that they found they could
save money by going over to London
to buy their clothes. 1t is particularly
true of actors. who are obliged to have
large number of suits on hand, but
the economy is just as evident among
less extensive purchasers. Herbert
Kelley went to England this year for
the sole purpose of replenishing his
wardrobe.
Zone can get good clothes on this
side of the water undoubtedly" he
said, "but the trouble is they cost triple
what they do in London. A crack
tailor here charges twenty dollars for
pair of trousers, and that sum will
buy exactly three pairs in England"
The tailors of New York are con-
stantly growing more exorbitant in
their prices. There are, of course, huge
emporiums or bazars, where clothes are
clipped out like shoe pegs and sold like
hot mullins. but it goes without saying
that we'll dressed men do not patronize
them. A man to earn the distinction
of being pronounced we'll dressed in
New York must exercise great care not
to dress too much or too richly. He
must speed considerable sums upon
his attire, but nothing like the
amounts set down of late in numerous
articles that are floating about in the
daily press concerning the cost Of a
well-dressed New Workers. wardrobe.
The statement that at least twenty
thousand men here spend five thousand
. dollars year on clothes causes an ach-
ing void to replace my heart. I'm not
an expert on clothes but realize the
absurdity of that statement. Suppose
. man buys eight suits of clothes a
year, which is an extraordinary num-
Der, the cost would be about as follows
from any of the leading talors:
TWO frock suits S4O
One evening suit. .......................... 100
Two business suits 1870
Inree cubdWuN SullS ...-'..'.....'..'.. ''... so
This would call for less than $500 of
the $4,000 year, leaving the over
coats, yachting flannels and underwear
to come out of the trifing balance.
Even under these conditions a man
would have from fifteen to twenty suits
in his wardrobe, for they would accu-
mulate RAPIDLY with one coming in
every six weeks. In sober fact tailor

West India Fruits.

Sacramento merchants are proverbially
enterprising, and this is especially true of
many of those in the fruit shipping bust
ness. Yesterday the firm of W. R. Strong
& Co. received from the West India Islands,
via New Orleans, a carload of bananas.
This is the first time that this fruit has ever
| reached this part of the world, and shows
what can be done in this day of quick
railroad communication and facilities for
safe handling over long distances The
fruit came in one of the Southern Pacific
fruit cars, by passenger train, and was
found upon arrival to be in excellent con-
dition. 1t differs from the banana with
which we are familiar on this coast, in that
the punches are, many of them, of much
greater size, while the fruit is OF different
shape. Here is another evidence of the
fact that Sacramento is a natural CONNER
cial center, both by reason of numerous
railroads converging here, and also on ac-
count of the facilities for distribution OF
goods and products. Already arrange
ments have been made to distribute this
large cargo of tropical fruit to as far east as
Utah and Montana, and north. by the
quick time now made by the California
| and Oregon route, to all the Webfoots and
other inhabitants north of US.
In this connection it may be further
stated that Mr.. Wallace, a prominent bust
ness man and banker of Salem, Or , is now
IN this city investigating as to arrange
ments for shipping fruit from that portion
OF the coast TO this city, with a view to
here placing it in our special fruit trains
for the Eastern market. AT the same time
he is also arranging for Sacramento nursery
stock for next seasons planting IN Central

Recovered His Pointers.

J. Martin Barney, of Auburn, whose val
liable pointer dogs, Tom Pinch and Gal
atea,' were lost recently, as mentioned in
the RECORD UNION, has had his heart re-
joiced by their recovery after nine days
absence from home Instead of having
been stolen or accidentally killed, it ap-
pears that they went off on an independent
hunt, and were found below Grass Valley,
having travelled about thirty miles "Gal., y
being quite young, gave out, and tom"
calamity remained with her She was
brought home on horseback, but Thomas
was competent to paddle his own canoe,
and when they were within ten miles of
Auburn, on their way back he started on
ahead and made quick time for home
The dogs are greatly esteemed by all the
residents Of Auburn, who are gratified that
one of their townspeople should be the
owner of Tom, who has not a superior
in the pointer family. Mr. Barney writes
to friend in Sacramento that if big

have been enough to go around

A Self-Propelling Engine.

The self-propelling engine or steam wa
gon which was operated on the streets of
Sacramento last evening by Colonel H. H.
Linnell, was witnessed by q large number
of people Among those who examined
into It's merits were many farmers and a
number Of our leading business men. This
steam wagon, which has attracted SO much
attention during the last ten DAYS, while
standing in front of Mr.. Linnell's agricut-
urai implement establishment on ] street,
was " fred mp" and put in motion and run
down to Friend Il Terry's lumber yard,
Second street, between NJ and n. Here it
was hitched to wagons loaded with lum-
Der, which weighed about nine tons, and
started up town to the lumber yard, corner
of Twelfth and streets. The trip was
made with the utmost ease, starting with
so pounds OF steam, which soon run up
to 100. In a few days this engine
will be shipped to the ranch of Mr.. Chiles,
near Davisville, where it will be set to
work hauling combined harvester This
piece of machinery has many advantages,
a few of which can only be noticed in this
connection. The demand since the intro
duction of the combined harvester for
some power other than animal to operate
them has been sought for, and steam has
been used, but with Indifferent success A
variety of engines have been tried but none
have proved successful. They were either
worthless or too large and cumbersome, or
too expensive to operate. These obstacles
placed them beyond the reach Of farmers
with moderate means. Mr.. Linnell has
given the subject of traction engines for
the purpose of hauling combined har-
vesters, blowing and doing various other
farm work much study for the past few
years, and at last has succeeded in intro
ducing the Eclipse to solve this great ques-
| ton. The farmers of California now have
within their reach as well as means an en-
CINE which Will meet every requirement.
This engine, or steam wagon, possesses
all the combined strength and durability

independent of boiler, leavingit free to ex-
pand and contract without any danger of
straining. The improved iron traction
wheels are independent in action, driven
by patented compensating gear with lock-
ing device that is made to engage with an
arm fastened to the axle when
passing over slippery ground, thus utilizing
both wheels for better engagement with

The Boom of White Scale.

EDS. REcoRp-UNIoN We have been
waiting these many years for something
to settle among us to help consume our
fruit and help us solve the question
of the great surplus that has OF
necessity been left to decay Ii
is here-and if we continue with our ac-
customed energy we will soon have every
garden and ranch stocked with this beauti-
full little animal, and the fruit question is
as good as solved. 1t has been found as
far up town as Twenty-second and ] streets.
Eighteenth and f streets, Sixteenth and
streets, and below that line the yards are
well stocked with it or will be soon. Los
Angeles and Santa Barbara will soon be
green with envy" at our success with the
boom. Our citizens are aWGke on this
subject, and when they trim the trees with
this beautiful settler, carefully place the
branches of the trees in the streets so they
can travel and find new home. This is
an excellent scheme and helps develop
this great question. On the corner OF
Tenth and G streets there is pile at the
present time which will do wonders to
forward this great interest. Yes, the boom
is coming. There is no manner of doubt
of it, in fact it is here if We will only foster
it, we will no doubt retain it. H.
